Electric connector and terminals thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an electric connector. The electric connector comprises an insulation body which comprises a number of terminal grooves and a number of limiting grooves, and a number of terminals which are respectively and correspondingly accommodated in a number of terminal grooves. Each terminal comprises a body which is located in the corresponding terminal groove and is fixedly arranged on the insulation body, an elastic arm which extends upward from the body, a first contact part which is formed on the tail end of the elastic arm, a second contact part which extends downward from the body, a curved arm which laterally bends and extends from the body, and a limiting part which is formed on the tail end of the curved arm and is partially accommodated in a limiting groove. Through the top surface of each curved arm, a number of terminals have large areas and can be pushed and pressed by a tool. Each limiting part is accommodated in each limiting groove, which can increase the auxiliary supporting of the terminals on the insulation body, so that the terminals can be easily pushed and pressed by the tool and are stable on the insulation body.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical connector and its terminals, in particular to an electrical connector and its terminals which are more convenient for tools to push and be installed on an insulating body Background technique [0002] The electrical connector generally includes an insulating body and a plurality of conductive terminals disposed on the insulating body. As the development of modern electronic equipment gradually tends to be miniaturized, the volume of electrical connectors is also developing towards miniaturization, and the size of its terminals is naturally reduced accordingly. Due to the miniaturization of the terminal, the elasticity of the terminal is often difficult to withstand the pressure exerted by the circuit board on the terminal. At present, the industry has developed a corresponding solution to this problem. Refer to figure 1 , which is a kind of electrical connector terminal disclosed in Taiwan Patent Publication No. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, when the existing terminals are assembled, only a strip connecting portion 12 on the top surface of the base 11 is used for pushing by tools. Because the volume of terminal manufacturing is gradually reduced, the strip connecting portion 12 is often pushed by tools. If the area is too small, there is a problem that the tool is not easy to push against the connecting part 12 of the strip; in addition, when the existing terminal is installed on the insulating body, only the lower half of the base 11 is fixed on the insulating body. It often causes the upper part of the base 11 to deform due to stress when the terminal is crimped with the upper circuit board, so that the base 11 is inclined relative to the insulating body and cannot be firmly fixed to the insulating body
